I have seen them for about $375, but never that low. Ill get one in a second for 200

Do you still tink it was worth the investment Joey?

Its a nice meter, even though I havent used it.

My issue with 4 to 20 has always been how you had to properly check what your reading, thats why I use 2 to 10 98% of the time. With the 771 you dont have to worry about taking a wire loose and possibly missing the problem if its a bad connection.

Mine takes a little while to turn on, about 20 seconds, it has a LED built in that seems to light up pretty good that points towards the clamp. It comes with a soft canvas case(I would have preferred the grey leather case most people put there meters in for that price point). The clamp is removable and there is a velcro strap holding part of the lead(I dont know how long the lead is, I dont undo stuff, I try to keep it like original, of course thats one of the benefits of being OC )

Freddy, I have been an a/c tech first, controls second, until last year now that I'm doing mostly controls. Since then even though my company furnishes my tools since doing controls I have been buying all my tools related to it, my cart, conduit benders, etc. , just because I wanted to own my tools myself(I take pride in knowing those nice tools are mine ) and the 771 just seemed like a must buy to me, just like I want to get thishttp://www.testtools.fluke.dgtlpub.c...0498/home.html (the Fluke 922)

O.m.i.f.

My apologies to coremech. I spoke before I thunk.
You can use the method I mentioned to meter a controllers 4-20ma AO. To measure the AI, I agree with choosewisely; you need to put your meter in series with the sensor.
